DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- An adoptive father accused of raping a boy in his care has been indicted in southwestern Ohio along with another man.

A prosecutor in Dayton says a Montgomery County grand jury on Friday indicted the 39-year-old adoptive father from Troy and 31-year-old Patrick Rieder, of Dayton, on charges of raping a child under 13. The father also was indicted on counts of complicity to commit rape of a child under 13.

The prosecutor says the adoptive father brought the boy to Rieder's home and both men engaged in sexual conduct with him.

The adoptive father is charged in Miami County with raping three boys in his care.

Rieder's attorney didn't immediately return calls Friday.

The Associated Press is withholding the father's name to protect the child's identity.
